Vision Given To Peter
By Mark Flippo
Acts 10:9-16
9-The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray. 10-And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance 11-and saw the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth. 12-In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. 13-And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” 14-But Peter said, “By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.” 15-And the voice came to him again a second time, “What God has made clean, do not call common.”16-This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.
Here God uses the number three to represent a way of showing how important this was to Him!! Jesus made a change in the law. Now gentiles were being accepted!! Jesus let everyone know that jew or gentile makes no difference to God anymore. All must come into salvation the same way. There was no more converting to Judaism. Now all that belong to Jesus are called Christians! One door to salvation.
